Drama Inspirational Romance

Never say don't, don't do it.


Don't say no, not really.


Do not also deny with the words no, not that.


And don't make bad assumptions about something that isn't necessarily valid, but that's not the case either.


Indeed, electricity was born because there is a negative element, without a negative valve there will be no current if there is only a positive valve. It is clear that nature is synergistic with negative and positive elements, similar to the Yin and Yang symbol, where there is good and evil, there is good and there is also evil. If everything is fine or if all the rich people have nothing bad or the poor then all of that will keep nature in sync and run optimally. If everyone became police, there were no bandits or thieves, and then the police would be unemployed. In other words, it is very similar to 2 currencies that are always in sync with each other, even though sometimes if 1 coin or paper currency will never meet each other.


as matter of fact, this is often violated, in fact the law is sometimes violated for the sake of perpetuating something, namely in the name of a momentary wish either personal or group, if one looks at it, it is clear that the jurists and state apparatus who are legal experts or law formulators actually violate the law themselves. No or not really.


Those were not the things that were on Warjo's mind, an amateur musician. He is a pianist who has never taken courses or lectures in the field of music. However, regarding scores and musical notes in the world of music, especially piano, there is no doubt about his abilities. Even though he mastered it through self-taught either through books he studied 14 years ago until he saw it on YouTube when it needed to be done, he did not finish his law studies considering that there was an important thing he had to sacrifice for the sake of his family, namely his only sister, namely Siska Ayunda, who is currently studying nursing. , if only he had been selfish, he would have gone to college with his own income, but he didn't do it.


He is sad because he has just been left by his lover to go home to the Labanan area, Berau, East Kalimantan, namely Irene, the violinist and violin tutor who has travelled across the world of capital and national music, although not as well-known as an impromptu artist who often works on soap operas. She was forced to return to her hometown because her parents called her.


An accidental meeting when they collaborated on a show in one of the halls where they as musicians joined for a charity event. When they were in the studio they actualized themselves personally inviting them to do a practice session before the event.


Warjo was very saddened by the departure of his sweetheart, and he wanted to tell his girlfriend to say no or not to return home. Now memories are just memories, because she returned to her hometown because of her parents' orders. Obviously this is a big question for him, his thoughts penetrate the horizon. There are only negative thoughts present. Obviously she came home because her parents must have arranged an arranged marriage for her. If this were turned into a fact, then the he would have committed suicide by drinking insect poison or hanging himself

His mind soars across the horizon and the expanse of the universe but is blocked by something shrouded in uncertainty. With the coffee still steaming as if it was in sync with his daydreams, indeed the atmosphere also supported his thoughts which soared between galaxies. It was clearly inconsequential to think like that, He muttered softly in his heart.


He is currently only working part-time, his work does not require energy or thoughts, only relying on intuition or physically capable, a job he has mastered 2 years ago. His job is only setting up the sound system for big events, weddings or concerts held by the Event Organizer where he works, but regarding the fee he gets, he can support his daily life, whether it's paying for boarding or eating 3 days a day.


His thoughts were shattered instantly when she called him via whatsapp messenger from his sweetheart that he had to follow him to his hometown immediately while giving the address via Google maps. But it was unlucky indeed because only 2 pieces of red banknotes were tucked into the wallet given by her. His account was drained because his parents called him a week ago to send money because Siska, the youngest sister, had not paid for college. It is known that his father was just an itinerant diamond seller in his hometown and his culture was an itinerant herbal medicine seller in Tuban, East Java. A little embarrassed to say that, but in the name of love and honesty he will say it. Haven't had time to talk to her yet, Bagas suddenly came to interrupt the conversation between the two of them.


"Jo, there will be an event tomorrow, you set the sound at the Mampang GOR, tomorrow there will be a rock and roll music event for SMK students in South Jakarta," Bagas said.


"Gas, first, okay, sorry I'm on the phone with my boyfriend, you're just disturbing, I'm already screaming again" said him as if emphasizing the importance of his conversation with the lover of his heart.


"Must be bad news huh? Or he was told to marry his parents” He chattered while laughing out loud.


"Don't Say anything Please, just make fun of you, in a moment okay" as if he said as an assignment.


It turned out that the sound was heard by her while laughing giddily. If you look at her, she is a girl with a mature personality who is always cheerful and has never seen anything material. Their relationship has been long enough for more than half a decade they have passed and there has never been any variety or significant disputes between the two of them. Then she with a slightly spoiled tone told him to put his voice on the loudspeaker, so that the conversation between the three of them could take place.


"Indeed, I want to arrange an arranged marriage for Gas," said her while laughing giddily through the WhatsApp loudspeaker connection on Warjo's cell phone


“Ah dare you swear, Rin? How pity you are Warjo! in the future he will die crunchy if you just get married, ha ha ha” Bagas said


"You want to know, do you really want to know Gas?" She answered and asked Bagas again.


Indeed, the three of them had known each other for a long time, the first time he made a pact with her as if Bagas wanted to become a "Mosquito" if the ABG children now branded Bagas. However, Bagas never bothered because Bagas also had a girlfriend, a Public Relations student at a prominent campus in South Jakarta. It was also Bagas who introduced the sound system that he was familiar with, however, if we traced the theory and practice of this matter, Bagas was quite well versed, and who in fact was an Electrical graduate at a leading campus in the Bandung area. The important position held by Bagas in the event organizer is the manager. It was him who became the driving force behind EO's existence, even though he was not only a sound engineer, there were still 2 people like him who worked in the same field as Alex and Didi. The boss is one of the owners of a famous dangdut music group in Jakarta who seems to really believe in the management, Public Relations and Marketing at his EO to the two of them even though his work is part time, but when there is a big event it is clear that his work is neater and there are never any defects here and there, it could be said that his work went smoothly if he was assigned to every activity event similar to the road that stretches between Tiakur and Weet on Moa Island, Southwest Maluku Regency in Eastern Indonesia.


"Must be a rich oil merchant huh? I know” Bagas seemed to confirm and continue their conversation.


"Stop, Stop..., please Bagas, and don’t make up stories." As if she was reaffirming the conversation between the three of them.


"Who with? Why am I so curious?” said Bags with his pure Javanese accent as if he wanted to investigate further about the fact why her reason for returning to her hometown was because of her parents' arranged marriage.


"Same with him" She answered loudly and again with her Kalimantan accent as if to deny Bagas' statement and the thoughts that were raging in his heart

Like being struck by a thunder in broad daylight what she stated? They both gasped


"Ah, are you right Rin?" Bagas asked again as if confirming what he had just heard.


"I'm Serious, Gas. All of a sudden you're screaming, people already know I miss you and want Warjo to come to my house in Labanan. His Job tomorrow right? It's only Monday bro. I have already ordered for this Thursday the PP Jakarta-Berau ticket via Citilink, I just wanted to take a screenshot of the ticket, and you kept interfering in our conversation. Hihihi”


Through WhatsApp conversations, it can be concluded that her parents already knew about their relationship through her Facebook and Instagram. Search was obtained because the parents were not stuttering with technology, the parents were parents who really understood what their children wanted by really protecting the dignity of the family by prioritizing full trust in their only daughter. Her parents had seen a charity concert which indeed journalists had snapped of the two of them during a charity event that had been held for a long time. And her parents have interrogated her and put their full trust in her.


While laughing softly, Warjo was silent and didn't think about anything else. Because in dealing with a partner even though they are not married, they must be redamancy while still prioritizing religion and good morals. And that has been expressed by her hundreds of times. She always said that the act of loving someone who loves will return; love is fully reciprocated. And think always beautiful and healthy. It was at this moment that the feeling that was shrouded in suspicion vanished from his mind.

EUNOIA From this story it can be concluded that being and thinking critically is fine to increase our sensitivity to something, but prejudice will not help us solve any problem. The longer we harbor prejudices, the more emotional people we become. Because everything needs peace and good thoughts in order to give happiness in life. It is evident from Warjo's story that he finally regretted spending time treating his prejudices. Life needs a balance between the good and bad of our thoughts and feelings.
